Maps in my head are useless. I get lost everywhere. When I went to university I walked so much more than I had to because of orientation issues. I get lost so easily. Even when playing games, if there is no map I just draw one myself because I have 0 reliability on my orientation skills. GPS was such a life saver for me. I rely waaay too much on it. For when I do not have the tools (GPS, map or other) I use visual cues in the background such as tall buildings, mountains or the sun's position. I don't really think about it since I've been doing this since I can remember but I always feel amazed at how others around me can just know which direction to start walking after coming out of a door. Eventually I do memorize it but it takes a while.

Have you tried running an emulator? There are tons of Tactics games that are way superior to anything mobile. Save states ensure you don't miss anything by shutting down and starting right back where you left. I was a little reluctant at first since I saw it as a non-native app and patchy or glitchy. It was not and I was wrong. Emulation on mobile is rock solid. Give it a go.

Tactics Ogre for the PSP is very well liked and still holds. Runs very well on my android.

Oh and it's also $0!!

Yeah I have the same thing. I can sort of visualize the concept, like foggy still images of tetris games I've played but I cannot imagine a game setup where a piece would fall and complete a line. That is too specific. I can just do like general concepts, not specifics.

Place a box with sand near the area you want to protect. Move it further away a feet or so by day. In 10 days that cat will be shitting wherever you guided it to. Leave the box and or the sand. Done.

Low cost. Low effort. No animal cruelty. No dealing with neighbor. Effective.

I just tried it (Android). Seems solid. Can't block youtube ads though so for now, sticking with my Firefox+Ublock in android.

Plex will cast to a Chromecast with subtitles. It will also fetch them if you don't have an SRT file in the folder of your video with the same name. Lenguages is also selectable at the time of fetch. I do not pay for pro. Nonetheless, I have not tried jellyfin and cannot tell you if it is possible there or not. My guess is it should.

Excel Python yay! Cloud interpreter boo! But overall yay! I am really excited to try this out. I run a bunch of data analysis and simulations. It will be very cool to streamline some of the heavy lifting python does while still being inside an excel file.

I have had 12+ hour layovers. I knew ahead of time, so a little different, but still what got me through was exercise. I walked the entire airport route. It was a big airport and it took me about 2 hours of brisk walking. Freshen up in the bathroom as best you can afterwards. Rest, watch movie okay a game. Then walk some more. Keep moving. Time will not fly, but it will feel a lot less overwhelming. And you will have done some good to your body and mind.

Also, work. If you can, work ahead and do stuff you will need to do in the next couple of days. You will enjoy that time you are saving later when you are on your own and need it and can use it.

Good luck!

Question: If I were to buy a PS Plus Essential subscription code for 12 months, how would I be changing that to premium? Would I be charged after putting my code in? Do I now have two different dates on when Premium ends and when essential ends?

Yup. Prices are a % of one's income. It might 0.002% for someone and 32% for another.

Normal game support. It is really cool. My PC connected to an Oculus2 via Virtual Desktop on a 5GHz wireless network struggles but manages. Always wondered what a hefty PC with an Index would look like.
